Been fiddling with the iS

Since I bought her off Jamie i havent been able to stop myself fiddling a little bit. Mods have been kept subtle and (I hope) classy.

This is how i got her:

Sprayed Grill Black
German plates
German Flag
All Red Rear Clusters
Hammermited and whiten'd all the inner arches

iS Lip is on its way...................

Tell me what you think.

Looks good, cool to see another iS touring rearing its head. I think black brake ducts and a black iS splitter would work pretty well too.

What other bits had been done previously just out of interest?

What you mean? Mechanically it was a 316 that now has e30 iS enging/gearbox/zaust and 325 brakes all round. It actually had an lsd from factory which is weird. Engine has been chipped and mapped to 149bhp by Evolve Motorsport and has a lovely instant power.

Cosmetically: Borbet Cs and SE sideskirts

I cannot claim any of the above, apart from what i pictured. It was ment to be a cheap runaround while i spent money on the M5 but as usual i couldnt leave things alone!

Good to see you're playing with the old girl mate.

Black brake ducts like this...

looks good but if it was me, i would paint the iS lip white along with the se skirts and the black part on the lower rear valence. Would make the car look lower.

It looks smart. I really like the all red rear clusters, they always look good on white e30's.

Nice, different, chariot.

Do you not think this would make the car look less lean and maybe a bit fat?
